"Buzz"

The sound of a loud horn pierced the sky between the voices of the garrison camp outside Fort Herain, overpowering the original noise of the barracks.

Soon, the trumpets sounded one after another in all the camps,

A few seconds later, the sound of horns joined in succession.

When the resting soldiers heard this, they felt like they had been doused with a bucket of cold water on a winter day, and then instinctively drove them to check their equipment, pick up their weapons, and line up at the orders of their commanders.

Ten minutes later, the continuous sound of the trumpets stopped,

In the barracks of the Kawalburg garrison, the knights who had completed the formation rode tall horses and held high the giant bear battle flags, and slowly walked out under the leadership of Pedi and walked towards the widest main passage in the center of the camp.

As the group approached the various camp entrances, the soldiers who had already assembled let out cheers and consciously followed behind them.

In a burst of cheers and military orders, a huge moving steel torrent of marching columns soon formed on the main road of the camp.

Half an hour later, the huge army walked out of the camp one by one,

The command flag flew on the watchtower, and the whole army was lined up, the infantry and archers stood cross-legged, and the cavalry flanks roamed back and forth to cover.

The scouts on the battlefield go back and forth to report to Commander Sira Marne on the status of their units. In less than ten minutes, the army was lined up and looked at the front of the siege force...

This is an army ready to fight at any time!

After receiving the report from the flag officer, Sira Marn subconsciously looked at Pedi beside her, waiting for the order to attack last, while Pedi looked up at the sky above the Twak army on the flank, waiting for the signal.

About two minutes later, there was a sudden surge of figures on the outer wall of Fort Herien on the opposite side.

"Look there, my lord. Danmen Green commanded his horse to crowd over Pedi and reminded him to look towards the walls of the Herion Territory.

Hearing this, Pedi withdrew his gaze, removed the goggles from the saddle, and moved his arms, which were a little stiff due to his armor, before raising them to look at the opposite wall.

Siara Marne, who had observed the walls before Pedy, said, "This is your plan, Bane Lockton is still alive and well!" and there was a hint of annoyance in her tone, because she had abandoned the original siege plan after the MI had planned it.

"Dear Sir Sir Cyrah, you should..."

A loud explosion of "boom" interrupted Danmen-Green's explanation.

"Goddess above, Bane-Lockton has exploded!" exclaimed the noble general who was also observing the walls of Fort Herien.

I saw that the city wall of Fort Herien, which was still calm a moment ago, was now full of firelight, and even Pei Di could hear the exclamations and cries for help clearly!

"That's our plan, ma'am. "Danman-Green was pleased with the response from the 'crowd on the floor'.

Pedy was haunted by the explosion in the image of Bane Lockton being drowned in the explosion at this moment, he put down his lookout and sighed secretly before saying to Sira Marne beside him, "Give Duke Andy a signal that he can start attacking." ”

Sira Marne lowered her lookout scope, nodded silently, and began to give the order to attack in an orderly manner.

"Buzz"

The horn of the stop sounded again,

This time, though, it's a deeper, longer tone.

At the same time, three red flares rose into the air.

Soon, the 1st Corps, which was hiding behind the body of the siege tower, began to move in the sound of military orders...

First, the heavy towers began to advance slowly to the rhythmic sound of slogans, then the longbowmen threw arrows at the orders of the officers, and farther away the catapults began to load with tar-coated rolling stones, and in the rear, all the troops, except for the two thousand soldiers who remained in the camp, kept their original formation, advancing slowly on the vast road they had dug in the past few days.

Ten minutes later, the siege tower car successfully erected the city wall,

Half an hour later, the Kavar Fort army managed to climb the city walls!

An hour later, Danmen-Green told Pedi that the city's nobles were willing to surrender, but only if the integrity of the Lockton family was guaranteed.

But Pedi thought about it, and he didn't have that condition.

The battle continues...

When darkness hits the horizon, the nobles of the Herion Lords choose to surrender unconditionally under the large forces of the Kawal Fort and Twak Commands.

Twelve o'clock in the evening,

Pedi arrives at Fort Herien with a group of retinues and meets Andy Barrett, who has arrived earlier.

Looking at the neat and tidy appearance of the castle, Pedi was a little surprised, and after hugging his cousin, he asked, "Aren't you going to take your share first?"

"I'm sure you won't be a bad debt. Andy Barrett smiled nonchalantly, "Of course, if I could, I'd like to exchange my share for gold... 100,000 gold coins. ”

Pedi spread his hands, "Do you think I'm really a fool?"

"Duke Andy, 100,000 gold coins can form half a legion. Sira Marne said, "The Lockton family's wealth is concentrated in the northern warehouses of Fort Herien, and you have already shipped them back to the Twak Territory. ”

"Ma'am, I helped you take this castle at least half a month ahead of schedule. Andy Barrett looked sad.

"Twenty thousand gold coins, if you agree, I can give you the Imperial Promissory Note now. ”

"Eighty thousand, I want the same amount of gold, no promissory note. ”

Pedi didn't bargain this time, he thought for a while and said, "If you insist on exchanging gold coins, I will ask my treasurer to talk to you, he is in the army now." ”

"I'm not going to waste my time staying," Andy Barrett seemed to casually point to one of his knights, "I hope to end this conversation as soon as possible." With that, he opened his arms again and hugged Pedi, "Well, I have to leave first." ”

"Now?"

"Now!"

"Bang" the hard armor collided again,

"Goodbye, then. Peddy had regret on his face.

"Goodbye, I hope it will be so nice next time we meet. Andy Barrett waved his hand and walked decisively towards the door with his entourage and personal guards.

As Andy Barrett disappeared into the halls, Sira Marne said, "As much as I hate him, I have to admit that he is a wonderful lord. ”

"He's always been outstanding. Pedi said.

"But his ambition is written on his face, and if he doesn't make any more restraints, it will ruin him sooner or later." ”

Pei Di smiled lightly: "However, it is also possible to make him!"

"Yes, but only if he knows how to hide his ambitions. "Sheila Marne stands by her opinion.

Peddy subconsciously grasped the hilt of the saber at his waist and forcibly changed the subject, "I want to see Baron Hannina and Sir Edwin now. ”

"As you wish, my lord. "Siala Marne performed a very exaggerated etiquette.

...

The noisy night of the city of Herion passed in terror among the citizens.

Early in the morning of the 19th, Edwin Filming appeared in the square of the morning market in the city... He stood under a giant bear banner and prepared to begin the speaking engagements that Pedi had given him.

But around him, there was not even a single spectator.

Two hours later, the clock came to nine in the morning.

There was still no one in the morning market, which should have been bustling, and not even the stall owners of the stalls had appeared.

After ten o'clock, Edwin Fellin began to visit the leaders of the various chambers of commerce and the head of the union in Herien City.

On the other side, Baron Hanina, with her two henchmen Paladins and a team of elite soldiers, traveled back and forth through the city's aristocratic district according to clues provided by the MI and the police department, secretly arresting a large number of Bane-Lockton supporters.

Meanwhile, in a spacious bedroom within Fort Herien,

Pedi was still lying in bed, and the continuous rain and the barracks life had barely allowed him to get a good night's sleep for a long time recently.

So, today he is in bed.

In fact, as early as an hour ago, Pedi woke up... The warmth of the new plush cushions and silk duvet covers is always a memorable moment. However, Pedi wasn't all in bed, he felt the comfort of the bed, and his mind kept thinking about everything that had happened recently.

The victory was sudden, but Pedi didn't feel joy after the victory, he just felt that everything had happened inexplicably lately... Inexplicable war, and then inexplicable victory!

Although it was indeed his plan to eliminate the maladministration of the local territories, his original plan was to use the trade monopoly to control the four autonomous territories, and then slowly take back the Cawalburg voice in the region... A sudden conflict interrupted all his plans.

"Tuk Tuk"

There was a knock on the door.

"Eden!" Pedi called out to his only servant.

The door opened, and young Eden walked into the room lightly, standing at the doorway cautiously looking at Pedi and whispering, "My lord." ”

Pedi lifted the cover, walked over to the sun-drenched window, looked through the silk gauze curtains at the still gloomy sky outside, and asked, "Did anything special happen last night?"

"There were several nobles with their private soldiers who stormed the garrison of the walls, but did not cause any losses. Eden slowly stepped forward and picked up the standard leather armor cover on the hanger.

"No, don't wear these today. Pedy stared at the few pieces of clothing on his hanger, "We need to make the citizens feel like the war is over...", he glanced across the hanger as he spoke, "So... Do I have any regular clothes?"

"No!" Eden replied crisply.

"Then find me one, I need it. Pedi shrugged.

"Yes, sir. Eden felt like he had a big task under him, and it gave him a serious look on his young cheeks. "Pedal Pedal " He walked quickly towards the door, but stopped halfway through, then turned to look at Pedy with some embarrassment and said, "Sir Sir Cilla Marne and Baron Danmen Green are waiting outside for your summons. ”

"Let them in. Pedi looked at the linen cloth he was wearing and said, "Let someone get me some water to wash my face first." ”

"Well... Good. Eden nodded, walked to the door, opened it, muttered something to the outside, leaned over and made a way.

Sirah-Marne walked into the room first, her armor had faded and she had been replaced by a cotton military uniform, and the stains on her hair were gone, revealing her original gold.

As the noblewoman walked into the room, Danmen Green followed, still looking the same.

"It seems that we all had a good dream last night. Pedi looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Sort of. Sheila Marne had a rare smile on her face, her tone of voice was devoid of the pressure of the past, and she looked energetic and with a woman's unique agility, "I always make people feel good after every victory. ”

"You deserve to enjoy this win. Pedi had a girlish scent in his nose instead of the unpleasant smell he had before, and he couldn't help but look at Sira Marne twice, "This war is won because of your superior command, Sir." ”

"Thank you for your compliment, my lord. Sira Marne rightly accepted Pedy's praise.

Pedi smiled mildly and looked at Danmen Green, "Looks like you have bad news?"

"Not bad news either. Danmen-Green waved his hand, "Word came from Kawalburg that the war in Tyre had begun, and that the Elven coalition had attacked the Empire's defenses in Tyre last night. ”
